Nucular Cheese

It will take decades to build nuclear plants. And did you know that the much-vaunted value of uranium is somewhat exaggerated? It’s just 1 per cent of our mining exports. As Ian Lowe points out in the latest Quarterly Essay – demolishing Howard’s nuclear arguments – Australia makes more from the export of cheese.

That's quite amazing. Australia earns more from cheese exports than uranium exports! I've never seen Johnny on the news defending the cheese industry. I wonder why?

And in a truly scary moment today I learnt that I too suffer from a lifestyle threatening condition.
